Biden reportedly considering two Kennedys for ambassadorships
President Biden is eyeing two Kennedys to serve as ambassadors for the administration overseas, Fox News reported, citing Axios.
Sources familiar with the matter told Axios that Caroline Kennedy is under consideration to be U.S. ambassador to Australia, while Vicki Kennedy is being viewed as a potential pick for Western Europe.
Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, served as former President Barack Obama’s chief envoy to Tokyo for much of his second term in the White House. She also threw her support behind Biden relatively early in the crowded 2020 Democratic primary process.
Meanwhile, Vicki, an attorney at Greenberg Traurig, gun control advocate and the widow of Sen. Ted Kennedy, met Biden through her late husband. Biden, who served with Ted in the Senate for 36 years, delivered his eulogy in 2009.
